After what was the worst defensive performance of the year last night against Vancouver in which the team gave up three breakaways in the first period as well as numerous point blank opportunities you have to wonder if it's time to bring up Corey Potter or Brian Fahey to spell one of our defensemen (cough Rozsival cough).
But Tom Renney noted he didn’t have the latitude right now to do so. And said this to Sam Weinman at The Rangers Report...
“The bottom line is we have to look at where we are with our roster in general,” Renney said. “I still have some forward decisions to make. You’d sure like the depth to get guys attention, but we don’t have that luxury.”
...and there in lies the problem. Can we make a decision on our forwards?!?!?!? We're 22 games into the season and Sather and Renney still can't decide what to do with Prucha or Rissmiller so they can open up a roster spot for a seventh defenseman? C'mon guys let's get with it.
...plus you have to figure we're one of the few teams that have played the same six defensemen in every game this season. I think a few of these guys - especially the high priced ones - could use a few mental days off right now.
